Snake Woman Creations

Closing out 2011

September marked the passing of my pops. I will save the long story for those who know me enough to ask (if you really want to know) over an adult beverage sometime, and just add that it was a consuming change.

Not because there was so much to do, I mean, there was a lot to do but a good list and keeping notes helps that process along, but becuase it changes the day to day. For mom, for me, for friends – the world looks different when a loved one passes.

The pup and I keep moving forward. God I love that furry face. She never tells my secrets. 🙂

Friends are well, and the work front likely holds 6 more years for me – I had hoped to start the full time artist gig sooner, but number crunching tells me the extra years at the county will prove their worth many times over.

Still, I look for ways to keep creating, and I am currently signing up to be considered as an artist for a contest (of sorts) that asks for 10 pieces, 90% of the materials coming from landfill (yep – the dump!) and I am super excited. More news on that should I get selected.
